You and I know what's coming, but Joe Blow who sees a V12 Q7 for 50k and thinks WOW!!! Buys it and spends the rest if his ownership selling vital organs and becoming a "rent boy" to cover his garage bills.It's been getting worse for the last ten odd years. Just look at all the really cheap early 2000 model Audi's, Mercs bla bla.There was that wicked 2001 S6 that went recently for 22k! Beautiful car, but later on it's just going to hurt too much.They're just far too complicated for their own good.And now having to drop V10 and V12 engines out of RS6's, Q7's for medial work etc is just plain dumb engineering.
